Naylor Genealogy & History

Naylor is an English surname, also spelled Nailer, from the Old English naegel, meaning nail, and sometimes the agent suffix -er, meaning someone who produced or worked with nails. In medieval England, nails were quite important, since most buildings, particularly ships and houses, were made from wood, which does not work well with mortar. Naylor family history starts with Stephen le Nailere, who was noted in the Calendar of the Patent Rolls in London, 1231. Some noteworthy members of Naylor genealogy are Australian cartoonist and illustrator Dillon Naylor, children and young adult fiction author Phyllis Naylor, and Australian broadcaster Brian Naylor.
